attacking wrong but the military option is still on the table despite an upcoming restart of international talks on iran's alleged nuclear arms program. but next on our team is being depicted as a star for security but it's turning into a fully fledged global invasion be explored the web of u.s. military bases now spending our planet in part two of our special report. these players who owns general electric. well how they get the money to make them and who's giving it to them to protect us from. these are all questions that somebody like obama should get out. it just didn't happen it was it was

designed. and those bases just came along like you know some terrible cancer. when you see how much money is at stake and in the operations that go on every day it's phenomenal the number of flights to take off from katrina air force base every single day involved just that one base in that one country on one day when have involved thousands of gallons of jet fuel. repair and maintenance and parts for those aircraft the rationale for these bases is that they're continually practicing and training and using the equipment and running the personnel through their paces and and feeding them and and so on and that is an incredibly expensive operation this is what. president eisenhower was warning against and his farewell address and

nine hundred sixty one where he invented the phrase military industrial complex meaning hidden power power that was not really under the supervision of congress that. it and that was often out of control represented private interests rather than the national interest i'm sorry to say that we in america did not pay attention to the warning he gave it gave to us and today it's close to out of control. the united states consumes one fourth of the world's oil to every day more than any other country far more than any other country the u.s. department of defense alone consumes this much petroleum is sweet and does on a daily basis that's a huge amount that has to be procured in day out three hundred sixty five days

a year. to safeguard their oil the united states must have some capacity to protect it and in this country their job has been given to the military. and the military must have bases naval bases air force bases and army bases in the areas where the oil is located or along the supply routes. if you look at the map collectively there is an almost contiguous strain. oh of the u.s. military bases from poland to pakistan in this really strategic middle ground between the emerging economic competitors of the united states the european union on one hand and china and japan on the other the us has a formal policy of maintaining military dominance of the persian gulf

area it's called a carta doctrine if the president jimmy carter he said protection of the flow of persian gulf oil is of vital interests of the united states and to protect that flow will use any means necessary including military force to there and he said we will need military bases in the persian gulf area and he established military bases to support this policy of protecting the flow of persian gulf oil and then wars were fought as well in line with the policy and west are united in pioneering a new front here of progress. serving the interests of a saudi arab. serving the interests of the united states. and demonstrating the high caliber of the american system of free enterprise. system

which from this new round here is nothing into the trade of the world oil. one of the material that is making a truly great contribution to our modern civilization. none of the reasons and the reason for the primary one for the invasion of iraq is to ensure u.s. control of the major energy resources of the world in the embassy which when we go inside baghdad is a city like no other embassy in history and the world they're not building the embassy in syria iran can be a huge variations around with an intentionally they're building the intention to

maintain control. since two thousand and three the us has built dozens of military bases in iraq in two thousand and eight the us and iraqi governments signed an agreement that states that all foreign troops should leave the country by two thousand and eleven. the agreement also says that the u.s. will not seek permanent basis or a permanent military presence in iraq. obama secretary of defense robert gates though has stated that even after two thousand and eleven he expects to see several tens of thousands of american troops as part of a residual force in iraq. hence many feel at iraq may be used as a launching pad for future wars in the region. often in fact bases created in response to an imminent threat have ended up becoming per minute. tegel garcia for

example born in the context of the cold war is still operational and has played a crucial role and iraq will be in stages even if. i study feasibility study and thought you know the ins and outs say for the people to go if they are to retire and they are but the thing is americans our living they are paying to they have temporal lobe they i and i and i you going ahead like out of the island look i like nuke like italy to new new old an american know and showing their life so they are why should we not have the right to go on all the ironing and enjoy the same way they are doing. so by many as the navy's best kept secret because of its remote location diego garcia is actually home to about three thousand residents at any given time there's also

a unique assortment of quality of life opportunities to take advantage of monday of r.c.s. the island's athletic center is open round the clock with a wide range of workout equipment and a full sized gymnasium be sure to spend as much time as possible researching this informative website to help you prepare for what will certainly be a memorable assignment abroad. but hosting u.s. bases countries lose their sovereignty in a number of ways you can do a very interesting kind of study in terms of the thickness of the so for the status of forces agreement this is what's negotiated between the united states and so whole host nations and it determines. who can access the united states will have what kind of political powers what happens when u.s. soldiers commit crimes in these countries and when you. i find is that the

countries that have less power or leverage in relationship to united states have much thinner so for us in these cases these countries you'll find that when u.s. soldiers commit crimes they're not held accountable the not and they're not tried under the laws of the host nation other not put into prisons in the host nation often they just want out of the country back into the united states were deployed to war zone because as they say boys will be boys nice guys been trained to to be more aggressive than so they were aggressive you know. if. you like you're like shot up with steroids you know i mean you're working out every day and you've got guns you've got stuff and so when you leave off the base man i

mean you're feeling pretty good about yourself you know i mean you're feeling like you're a tough guy you could get anybody you know but so coming into town with that sort of attitude and getting kind of drunk and did some i'm looking at you the wrong way you know he is not to have you know when you know you were sold your marine i mean they like that stuff the military likes that stuff they may say well we don't want our guys breaking local more wars and causing problems for the local people. as this garbage i mean if that's the case then you don't have a strong base you let us off the base there's going to be issues. i heard on the news one day about. okinawan girl had been raped by united states

military men and i was very upset over this because. i remember how we sort of treated the okinawan people when i was here as a set as an eighteen year old and eventually some of peace activists got in touch with me and they had a contact here in okinawa and when they found out that i had been stationed here they let the n.t. based people here know that there was an exploration who was stationed here who's doing piecework now in america and so they invited me to come back to do so a week of lectures so that was one nine hundred ninety six and that's when i came back and as we moved around the island and i saw the bases was still here i i just couldn't believe it. it's. it's almost like a cancer here for these people since the into world war two these spaces have been here.

this is something americans should know what happens when we open bases in other people's kind. what kind of problems as it saw or does it cause more problems and i think it does i think people and i think people get really angry you know at the this idea that we are policing the world we have a right to put bases anywhere we want we don't have foreign bases in america we don't have any british base we don't have any korean base we don't have any french bases or you know we just all american bases in harasta our bases are fine are the noises i would noise it doesn't bother us at all because they're our bases but for other people it's a real problem. they're going oh my dinner and this is a list of the crimes and accidents caused by the u.s.

military in okinawa because the accidents are very frequent this ticket and all. these are just a few minutes and i just didn't have time to write the moment down. a mother of. all secrets are sold on buckets of their. own. bible to me here is a map of the base as you can see it's right in the middle of the city.

hall. on. this elementary school stands only three hundred yards away from the base. here we are inside the so-called clear zone where the planes take off from land this go up when you go that's why the aircraft fly solo and even the helicopters little problem you're right sometimes they are so close we can see the pilots face.

right in the noises terrible stuff they fly old a lot nonstop. some cry in the middle of the night they get an anchor and some even stops coming to school. that. we're here to say to have a chance so won't accept any more military bases. and won't accept any more more

machines on it slams repeat god therefore we say no to all military facilities we could be added to those that come in arms we say go home. in two thousand and seven the us revealed its plans for a new military base and beach and italy just a few miles away from the city's historical center. beach already hosts a u.s. military base. home to the southern european task force and one of ten major u.s. bases in italy the area designated for the new base is the x. a billion airport. the plans for the new base include forty eight buildings over twenty acres of land i couldn't give a damn about the chance of because if it said you have four people it said three or four are over the age of ninety and the base is a nothing of a base it doesn't generate smoke noise there are no planes landing so anybody of

complacency chait's from my point of view is a dirty commie ok but why because the italian government to reach and your target is of decided yes and they want to make a noise even though these are entirely harmless people it's like having tourists they don't have tanks they don't have the helicopters that own question airplanes and so it's purely ideological and negative by a bunch of people who don't do anything in a worthless. in april two thousand the king live and yet is elected mayor of beach and so the promise of holding a referendum on a new base it is said to be held on october fifth but just a few days before the italian supreme court blocks the referendum.

despite the court's decision the citizens of the chance to decide to hold an autonomous referendum and on october fifth ninety five percent of the participants vote against in a place that. is a i mean i don't want the americans in my town and this is a chance to say it out loud but that it's been almost seventy years since the end of the war and we still have occupying troops in our city i despite the clear opposition of the people of each and so the italian government gives the us the green light to go ahead with a new base. it's not unusual for the normal democratic process to be subverted when it comes to military bases most bases are in fact covered by secret treaties between the u.s. and host nations in italy's case this is the one nine hundred fifty four us italy bilateral agreement never made public nor ratified by the italian parliament.

i. love another truck is arriving let's try to stay together i know that. i. live. here i am just looking. at a. lower. open the gates move you're breaking the special law on u.s. military bases.

what i'm not going to do i don't. know what i thought you were going to do you know why we struggle like this can have a kernel you understand how we feel very reality does here i think you're not even if the american and japanese governments have bullied us for years little bit similar to how we ever killed an american i don't have what america. your various girls have been great planes and helicopters have repeatedly crashed. on this is what these bases have brought us what they have oppressed us for sixty two better years son of cardiff they will never grow up. we realize you're only doing your job i don't know why but ours is a historical g.-d. that we will pass this legacy on to future generations. elementary school you're taught the declaration of independence and if you're paying attention on the day it is taught he'll be taught that it says that.

king george the third kept among us standing armies in times of peace the committed abuses and usurpations of missiles and i was i can make up that this was a reason to declare independence from britain even to war was. was on the eve of the bomb as an extra was hailed by many. as the beginning of a political phase radically different from that of the bush administration and in many ways it has been. but the ever growing military budget the escalation of the war in afghanistan and the uncertainty surrounding the fate of the u.s. bases in iraq and the plans for a new military bases in

a number of countries show how hard it is for this or any other president to challenge those policies that benefit the military industrial complex and perpetuate us hegemony over the rest of the world. the u.s. must now choose when it destine the country's dwindling resources to strength from social and democratic institutions or will it continue to fuel this parasitical complex that by definition can only produce new weapons and new wars. there are threats to match my land over there but it is good i'm not. so not until i hope to go back one day. support. and then honor i do use the land to grow lots of white gratis back on the way out on what they lost so that i could grow millions

of them and not little space more not i will not make it work it out or i'll get on i would then distribute them freely to the people of okinawa in the name of peace. their army throughout iraq at their. own if we all stay united in the struggle and i'm confident we can prevail. you know that whatever or if we don't speak out against the fact of our lands we will never be able to change the world. order to order that will come of it you're here. and we have to keep our camp and. that's the only way we can prevail but it was the. biggest strength. our path is one of resistance not terrorism.

we're here to provide a safe and secure environment for everybody regardless of what it thinks that they are and to make sure that people have the freedom of movement that kids can go to school. and go to work and people can sleep safely and we would like to see kosovo develop and continue to grow and out there will be a point we're ok for is no longer needed and we look forward to getting. the questions any of thing else shit everything you needed.
